Of course, they had to be just in case.

Concubine Xie's face was gloomy.

fought to the death of one, I thought I had won a big victory, but who expected another one to come.

This concubine always makes a profit, and I don't know whether she burned high incense or her ancestors accumulated virtue, but God treats her well, and she has been silent for so long after the death of a son, and now she is pregnant again.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xie was so angry that she couldn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

It stands to reason that she should be the most pregnant person in this palace!

But since giving birth to the second prince, she has slept countless times, but her stomach has not moved, and she once thought that she was injured like the old witch after the abolition, but the imperial doctor has seen countless times, but they all said that she is in excellent health and there is no problem.

Since you are in excellent health, why didn't you get pregnant again?

Although she has the most children in this palace, how can she be safe with only one son, if she can have a few more, the emperor will be happy, and she can rest assured.

A group of quacks prescribed countless prescriptions but to no avail, if she was called a queen, she would have to break these bastards into pieces.

Now that the abolished prince is dead, and Beichen has not yet been established, the concubine's stomach has moved again, so how can she not guard against it?

Concubine Xie thought for a while, and said viciously in a dark voice: "It's okay, since the emperor wants Jiang Mengyun to follow Concubine Xi at all times, it is very likely that the killer of the enemy country wants to kill Jiang Mengyun, and it is very likely that he accidentally injured Concubine Xu." ”

"By the way," she suddenly raised her head and instructed carefully, "You have to be careful, Jiang Mengyun is your most important target at the moment, as for Concubine Xu, if she can cause her to lose a child, it is naturally good, but be careful not to kill her." ”

That's a strange thing.

Ying Si, as a subordinate, shouldn't have asked, but this was related to their future actions, and he was still puzzled: "Niangniang, this murderous work is always a sword without long eyes, in case the concubine is looking for her own death......"

"That's not going to work either!" Concubine Xie suddenly shouted, "Use your brain." ”

She hated a little that iron could not become steel: "The palace just died and abolished the crown prince, the emperor was so frightened that he did two rituals in a row, if he killed the concubine again this time, I'm afraid the emperor will not do it, but will investigate it thoroughly!" ”

Concubine Xie snorted coldly: "You really don't know anything about being the emperor?" What about the king of a country, can he still understand this little bit of caution in this palace? It's just that they don't want to debunk it, and they don't have real evidence. ”

Emperor Liang didn't say it, but he probably still had a pimple in his heart.

It's just that he had the heart to balance the government and the opposition before, and he was afraid of another incident, so he promised that he wanted to make her the queen.

It was supposed to be a matter of course.

I don't know what Jiang Mengyun said to the emperor in Tingyu Pavilion that day.

That woman's eyes wouldn't be so poisonous, could she have made it clear to Emperor Liang on the spot......

or said something else, which made the emperor suddenly feel that it was a better choice to not stand for the time being.

Sighing slightly, Concubine Xie suddenly came back to her senses.

Yes, what did she say to this minion about these things, if an elm head like Ying Si could understand, would he only be a martial artist?

This kind of twisting thing is naturally not clear, but the meaning is understood.

Originally, the assassination was not difficult, but now it has become complicated.

In the face of double guards, it is really difficult to kill only Jiang Mengyun among them, and it is best to hurt Concubine Xi but not kill her.

But at this point, Ying Si has no right to refuse.

He bowed to the order, and soon disappeared when he withdrew.

There are only two days left before King Qi's birthday, and this time the prince's palace has already issued invitations, and the emperor will also come in person.

The Xie family, the Qin family, the Xu family, the Xu family and other major families have received posts, and there is no housewife in the Qi Palace, so the reception of the relatives is responsible for the old mother in the palace.

King Qi is already twenty years old, but he has not yet married, and everyone is a little energetic, and they are getting more and more busy.

On the one hand, it was one thing to prepare congratulatory gifts, and on the other hand, several ladies of the family volunteered to come to the palace to help.

These days, it is rare for the palace to be noisy.

Mo Ziqi was not affected too much, all the housekeepers in the house were responsible, he still practiced swords, calligraphy, painting every day, and occasionally dealt with some household chores, and his life was quite comfortable.

In recent days, he opened a teahouse on Qilin Street, making some special dim sum that the beams do not have, and now it is quite popular, originally just playing with things, but making a lot of money.

The little maid ingots were counting the money, and his eyes were smiling: "Master, a lot of silver." ”

Mo Ziqi looked at him with some amusement: "You haven't seen silver?" ”

"Yes," Yuan Bao still smiled, "but those are all left by the old prince, you usually don't want to do these things, His Royal Highness King Qi does business, I feel a little unbelievable when I think about it." ”

While he was talking, the clerk came in through the door.

Mo Ziqi raised his head.

The waiter glanced back again, and made sure that no one was following, so he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, the capital is not very stable, I heard that Concubine Niangniang has begged Your Majesty, and she will come ......on your birthday."

He paused, raised his head and said, "The emperor has sent more people to let Miss Jiang accompany her, and she will not leave the concubine an inch." ”

Mo Ziqi didn't speak.

Pushing the silver ticket in front of him aside, he pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and the servant was not in a hurry, waiting silently.

After a while, Mo Ziqi said: "That's what Miss Jiang wants to come, she probably has something to look for me, otherwise it is extremely dangerous to leave the palace at this moment." ”

When it comes to Miss Jiang, His Royal Highness's words are always extraordinarily much, and it is not surprising that the servant is not surprised.

Sure enough, after a pause, His Royal Highness King Qi said again: "You secretly sent people to watch along the way, since she dared to come out, she already had an idea, not to mention that the emperor must also attach great importance to the safety of this time." Watch from the sidelines, and do not show up until you are forced to do so. ”

"Yes." When the waiter answered, he wanted to retreat.

Mo Ziqi called him back rarely: "Wait, if it'...... Miss Jiang's life is in danger, and she must be kept safe. ”

"Yes." The waiter answered again solemnly, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "If her life is in danger, I must keep her safe...... Ahh ”

He learned a mouthful, and suddenly his hair stood on end, and he grinned with a trembling grin: "Flesh, flesh, Your Highness is really getting more and more numb." ”

Before the words fell, Mo Ziqi raised his hand and threw out a brush, which happened to hit his left head.

His Royal Highness King Qi didn't know when his ears turned red, but his speech was still gentle and upright: "If you learn from this king again, this king will let you stay in the house and not go anywhere, draw a picture every day, and write ten big characters." ”

"What for?" The waiter jumped up in fright with his head in his hands, and ran away as if he was running away, "I don't want it!" ”

Feeling that he had reached a safe distance, he smiled nonchalantly: "With her is me, and with my subordinates is this king, the gap, the gap...... Ouch! ”

Even if he was far away, Mo Ziqi raised his hand and threw a pen, and it still hit his right head accurately.

The waiter suddenly wailed and fled: "My subordinates are going to be beaten stupid!" ”

The noisy and stumbling ran away.

The inner courtyard was heavily guarded, and the movement here did not attract the attention of others.

Outside, the Xie family, the Xu family, and the Xu family were all there, and they also brought a lot of capable old mothers to help.

This time it's interesting, in the past, in this case, the fastest runner should be the Qin family, who doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Qin family likes to go to King Qi the most?

Before her birthday, she also got a painting of His Royal Highness King Qi, which caused many young ladies to be red.

Although it was asked for by the third princess for her, it had to be agreed by Mo Ziqi.

The strange thing is that this time they had the opportunity to make a head in the palace, but no one came.

But it's okay not to come, the Qin family and the Xu family fought to the death in the court before, and then the two families didn't have a good face when they met each other again, if they came at this moment, they had to pretend to smile and treat each other politely, and their hearts were so stumbling.

They were busy, but the Qin family had a strange dead silence.

Qin Shuyan sat silently in the room, and the maid next to her brought her a cup of hot tea, but she didn't drink it.

Mrs. Qin looked at her with some concern: "Shuyan, what are you doing here?" is so dignified, do you really want to be angry with your father and mother for this? ”

It's okay that she didn't speak, but as soon as she said this, Qin Shuyan suddenly frowned and stood up: "Mother, how can you do this?" How can you be so good, and suddenly want to marry your daughter to the second prince? ”

Although she was angry, her voice was still soft and weak, and it sounded particularly pleasant.

In front of such a beautiful face, it really makes people angry.

Mrs. Qin had no choice but to take her hand and let her sit down, and then said, "What's wrong with the second prince, is the second prince not good?" That Mo Beichen is also my Liang Zheng Zheng man, and he is a warrior feared by the enemy on the battlefield, although his appearance is not as good as King Qi, but his identity is much more valuable than King Qi. ”

This time, no matter what, my daughter had to nod.

Although her parents ordered her to match the words of the concubine, if she can't turn around in her heart, she will not have a good time in the future.

Mrs. Qin said earnestly: "Although my father's decision was a little sudden, it was all for your good. ”

She analyzed carefully: "Think about it, although King Qi is outstanding, he is just an idle prince after all, and his blood is not right, and he will definitely not have any great achievements in the future." ”

"Mother," Qin Shuyan couldn't help but interrupt her, "What else does King Qi need, he is already the head of the Eight Kings." ”

"Yes, he is the head of the eight kings," Mrs. Qin did not deny this, "but his throne is hereditary, and the emperor asked him to be the prince, he is the prince, if he is not allowed to be the prince that day, he will be a flat-headed commoner, and he will not even have a fame." ”

Qin Shuyan was unconvinced, but she also knew that she couldn't refute her mother's words at this point.

Mrs. Qin made persistent efforts and said: "But the two princes are different, in the past, the prince was still alive, and now the prince has been deposed or even died of serious illness, and there is only one seedling left in the palace, think about it, if you become the imperial concubine, the second prince will ascend the throne in the future, and you will be the queen of the world." ”

"But," Qin Shuyan twisted her body, but she didn't want to, "But the second prince is rough and ugly, and he looks five big and three thick, not to mention that I see that he seems to be very interested in that Jiang Mengyun, and he risked his life to save her last time......

Mrs. Qin didn't like to hear this: "What are you talking about?" ”

She couldn't help but stand up: "That's just your speculation, the second prince has never said anything, if he really has any interest in that Jiang girl, how can he not say it directly?" You're also thinking too much. ”

Mrs. Qin's face was slightly cold: "What's more, even if he is interested in that Jiang girl, if you want to win his heart, are you still afraid that you won't be able to?" Shuyan, you are the first beauty in Daliang, and you have been versatile since childhood, how can you be so unambitious? Before he started, he retreated. ”

"No......" Qin Shuyan couldn't say it.

If it was His Royal Highness King Qi, even if he loved Jiang Mengyun deeply, she would never back down half a step, but the second prince was really not popular!

Even if he can be the emperor in the future, there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, so many beauties compete for favor, if one is unsatisfactory, it will be abolished like the emperor today.

When the time comes, she, the queen, doesn't know if she can do it for a long time.

His Royal Highness King Qi is different, Prince Lao Li is an infatuated person, his son is not tempted by people now, if he is tempted, it must be a lifetime thing.

But......

My mother is also right, he is the prince after all, if the emperor doesn't let him be the prince one day, isn't he just a flat-headed commoner?

Qin Shuyan couldn't help but say: "What's the use of you persuading me like this, in case the second prince just doesn't want to marry my family, even if my daughter really has that ability, it's all empty talk if she can't see people, but His Royal Highness King Qi, he treated me very well in the imperial garden last time......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Qin had already waved her hand: "That's it, I can see that King Qi, he treats everyone with an excellent attitude, not just for you." ”

"As for the second prince, you don't have to worry, since we have come to persuade you, we will definitely get this matter done."

This attitude was really firm, which made Qin Shuyan can't help but be curious: "How do you know that this matter can be done?" His Royal Highness the Second Prince has ......"

Although she felt that Mo Beichen was not very good, but suddenly thought that the other party might have already meant her, Qin Shuyan couldn't help but be happy in her heart.

I don't know when the second prince coveted her.

Could it be that when she was with the third princess before, she had already entered his eyes?

But I didn't notice it before.

Qin Shuyan was puzzled and a little clear, too, she is beautiful and famous, although she is not as high-profile as King Qi, she is the first beauty of Daliang.

It is said that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, maybe the second prince has already taken a fancy to her.

took the risk to save Jiang Mengyun, probably just because he had good intentions.

Suddenly, Qin Shuyan felt that the second prince was not so bad, at least he did have great achievements, and the last time he saw him, his figure was extremely burly, but he also looked very attractive.

Her face turned red and white, and Mrs. Qin didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she only persuaded again: "You must not hang yourself on a tree, your father and grandfather mean the same, I will explain to you, you know what you know, so don't act recklessly." ”
